Most overrated bands


What are some examples of seriously overrated bands? My candidates are

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Velvet Underground
3. U2
4. Ramones
5. The Who

I don't rate performers as over/under-rated. I like them or I don't, after listening to them of course. I do have opinions though.I heard some of the new U2 and they continue to suck. It would not hurt my feelings if I never heard another Beatles song or the Rolling Stones music since Some Girls. 


Well, duh! Dylan picks his opening act. It’s not an accident. Of course he would say something good about Beck. Geez! Of course, Dylan has also said good things about Ricky Nelson, Booby Vee and The Sir Douglas Quintet. 
Uh, yeah, I know, Geoff. That was my point. Hel-loo! I, like Bob, love Ricky Nelson (he is dismissed as a lightweight by R & R historians), Bobby Vee (whom Dylan played with before leaving Minnesota), and Doug Sahm. Beck? Nope, sorry. Mediocre songs, not much of a singer (c’mon, you know it’s true ;-), haphazard accompaniment.
Neil Young after he quit smoking pot about the time of his brain aneurysm around 2005. Since then a few flashes of brilliance but basically just a steady release of less then stellar work compared to before.
Dylan enjoys putting people on. Fair enough? 😛 I like She’s About a Mover and Rubber Ball as much as the next guy, but come on! As far as Beck goes, I suspect it’s a generation thing. 😀
